France: Emmanuel Macron, Useful Idiot of Islamism

Emmanuel Macron, a "Useful Infidel," is not a supporter of terrorism or Islamism. It is worse: he does not even see the threat.

Louizi's article gave names and dates, explaining how Macron's political movement has largely been infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood militants.

Is Macron an open promoter of Islamism in France? It is more politically correct to say that he is a "globalist" and an "open promoter of multiculturalism". As such, he does not consider Islamism a national threat because the French nation, or, as he has said, French culture, does not really exist.

During the cold war with the Soviet Union, they were called "Useful Idiots". These people were not members of the Communist Party, but they worked for, spoke in favor of and supported the ideas of Lenin and Stalin. In the 21st century, Communism is finally dead but Islamism has grown and is replacing it as a global threat.

Like Communism, Islamism -- or Islamic totalitarianism -- has been collecting its "Useful Infidels" the same way Communism collected its Useful Idiots. There is, however, an important difference: under the Soviet Union, Useful Idiots were intellectuals. Now, Useful Infidels are politicians, and one of them may be elected president of France today.

Emmanuel Macron, Useful Infidel, is not a supporter of terrorism or Islamism. It is worse: he does not even see the threat. In the wake of the gruesome attacks of November 13, 2015 in Paris, Macron said that French society must assume a "share of responsibility" in the "soil in which jihadism thrives."

"Someone, on the pretext that he has a beard or a name we could believe is Muslim, is four times less likely to have a job than another who is non-Muslim," he added. Coming from the direction of Syria and armed with a Kalashnikov and a belt of explosives would, according to him, be a gesture of spite from the long-term unemployed?

Macron comes close to accusing the French of being racists and "Islamophobes". "We have a share of responsibility," he warned, "because this totalitarianism feeds on the mistrust that we have allowed to settle in society.... and if tomorrow we do not take care, it will divide them even more ".

Consequently, Macron said, French society "must change and be more open." More open to what? To Islam, of course.

On April 20, 2017, after an Islamist terrorist killed one police officer and wounded two others in Paris, Macron said: "I am not going to invent an anti-terrorist program in one night". After two years of continuous terrorist attacks on French territory, the presidential candidate said he had not taken the country's security problems into account?

Moreover, on April 6, during the presidential campaign, professor Barbara Lefebvre, who has authored books on Islamism, revealed to the audience of the France2 television program L'Emission Politique, the presence on Macron's campaign team of Mohamed Saou. It was Saou, apparently, a departmental manager of Macron's political movement, "En Marche" ("Forward"), who promoted on Twitter the classic Islamist statement: "I am not Charlie".

Sensing a potential scandal, Macron dismissed Saou, but on April 14, invited onto Beur FM, a Muslim French radio station, Macron was caught saying on a "hot mic" (believing himself off the air): "He [Saou] did a couple things a little bit radical. But anyway, Mohamed is a good guy, a very good guy".

"Very good", presumably, because Mohamed Saou was working to rally Muslim voters to Macron.

Is Saou an isolated case? Of course not. On April 28, Mohamed Louizi, author of the book Why I Quit Muslim Brotherhood, released a detailed article on Facebook that accused Macron of being a "hostage of the Islamist vote". Republished by Dreuz, a Christian anti-Islamist website, Louizi's article gave names and dates, explaining how Macron's political movement has largely been infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood militants. It will be interesting to see how many of them will be candidates in Macron's movement in the next parliamentary elections.

On April 24, the Union of Islamic Organisations of France (UOIF), generally known as the French representative of Muslim Brotherhood, publicly called on Muslims to "vote against the xenophobic, anti-Semitic and racist ideas of the National Front and [we] call to massively vote for Mr. Macron."

Why?

Is Macron an open promoter of Islamism in France? It is more politically correct to say that he is a "globalist" and an "open promoter of multiculturalism". As such, he apparently does not consider Islamism a national threat because, for him, the French nation, or, as he has said, French culture, does not really exist. Macron has, in fact, denied that France is a country with a specific culture, a specific history, and a specific literature or art. On February 22, visiting the French expatriates in London, Macron said: "French culture does not exist, there is a culture in France and it is diverse". In other words, on French territory, French culture and French traditions have no prominence or importance over imported migrant cultures. The same day, in London, he repeated the offense: "French art? I never met it!"

Conversely, in an interview with the anti-Islamist magazine, Causeur, he said: "France never was and never will be a multiculturalist country".

Because he is a politician, Macron is not addressing the French people as a whole. He is addressing different political customer bases. When visiting Algeria, Macron said that colonization was a "crime against humanity". He evidently hoped this remark would help him to collect the votes of French citizens of Algerian origin.

During the presidential campaign, Macron was always saying to people what they wanted to hear. French people may well be on their way to discovering that for Macron, belonging to a homeland, thinking of borders and defining oneself as belonging to a mother language or a specific literature or art, is nothing more than junk.

One last comment on the disaster of the recent French election. The 'enablers' in French politics, religions (the many) and society, have not only placed a noose around the necks of themselves and everyone else in France, but they have done so with such outrageous hypocrisy that it is indeed high humour. Consider for a minute. The MOST acceptable candidate for the high office of President of France, so considered by all the aforementioned dignitaries, brings to his office, his pedophile, and possibly, rapist wife. She would unquestionably have been charged with derelection of duty and authority, AND pedophilia, had she resided in the US or any of the many western democracies..... My suspicion is that had this been the union of a forty year old man, and a fifteen year old girl, the public outcry would have resonated to the rooftops. Nevertheless, the mere fact that a forty year old, married teacher took advantage of a vulnerable child in her classroom, and that all of the elites in France have found no cause to comment, reveals the hypocrisy of their society. Perhaps they need a dose of that other hypocrisy which has invaded their shores.

Macron is a "globalist" and an "open promoter of multiculturalism". That describes Obama. Also, the French people must be gullible to vote for this guy. Of course we have the same "useful idiots" in the U.S. and many of them are in the media which rejoiced at the election of Macron.

Macron is like macaroni a stiff dry stick until it is in hot water and it is spaghetti loops swooshed into the annals of history. You can tell with his comments and snippets his shallowness. Married to a 63 yrs old grandmother who taught him in elementary school he does not have children of his own. He also has a brilliant plan to reign in and domesticate Islam by "managing" its violent teachings to align with French values of Egalite', Fraternite', Unite'. This naive fool and those who picked him will see soon the fruits of this sterile seed that they planted.

Other than a difference in names and locations, the description "useful infidel" perfectly describers Justin Trudeau. He and his Liberal government are manipulated and controlled by the Islamic sharia jihadists in his party, some who are Cabinet Ministers. Irqa Khalid is one of those, a Muslima who wants to ban free speech in Canada and make any comment regarding Islam to a be violation of the Criminal Code of Canada. This terrifying concept is strongly supported by the NDP.

Let's see, Macron says French Culture does not exist. And he won the vote of something like 64% of French voters????????? Am sure he will learn a great deal about culture under Sharia law. Note to the 64% - when France is an Islamic country, do not even think about coming to America. Even Louisiana does not want you. Go to Quebec. Any French Patriots who voted for Le Pen are welcome.

Another Justin Trudeau in the making. Goodbye France. Feel sorry for the French people who want to save their country but it seems there's just not enough of them. Between the Muslims and the leftists they probably account for more than half the population and there's where all the votes will go. Same thing that happened in the Netherlands election where Geert Wilders lost.

The Globalists get one day of relief then the reality sets in for the people of France and Europe. Nothing will change, Islam will continue to destroy historic cultures and these Useful Infidels will have their throats slit eventually. The world is moving toward Islands of civilization.....see Israel here......as bastions against Islamic barbarism. Where will it be that Europe and North American's Christians and Seculars will end up? Islam is infiltrating every level of society, with its smiling brown face and innocence, waiting for the call to begin chopping heads.

I don't know if one should be more disgruntled with voters especially with French Jews who voted for Macron in large numbers. Are the Islamic incidents massively reported from France so spotty that they can't see the threat!

Can't help thinking how quickly the French gave up to Germany in WW2.

Le Pen's big mistake may have been talking about getting out of the EU.

Ok then. France has voted. France has chosen Macron, the EU, globalism, Islamism, socialism and all the issues that France has been bogged down with, for years now.

Okey dokey, France. You bunch have made your bed, now its time to lie in it. I have not a drop of empathy or support for the inevitable moaning and pleas for help that will come in the coming years, when Islam and the EU finally manage to eradicate what is left of French society and culture.

Casting a vote, to choose a Leader is a democratic right. And so is accepting the consequences for it, as well.

A sad day for France, yet again!!!! this desire for the French to give up their country and their heritage seems to be some kind of a disease in the blood.

Macron is going to prove a disaster, he will achieve the demise of the French people and be the political bearer of civil war.

When all is lost to France, yet again, they will come crying to the world "help us" The next Hollywood film will show the French President's demise and Le Pen leading the Resistance. Food for the next film script.

Support for Le Pen was far greater in the younger demographic than with the old (who will soon be dead), therefore it seems like the future of France is for the white population to be much more dissatisfied with the fate of the country. France has never solved its problems democratically, so I suspect this will only get resolved by another revolution.

Note - I am not endorsing this as a course of action, just giving a prediction.

Yves Mamou has more than adequately established the danger that France and its citizens now confront. Macron is a chameleon - his position on critical matters changes depending upon his audience. Now that he is the elected President of France, the useful idiot who was enabled to rise to this exalted position - by the Muslim Brotherhood, permits we on the outside to accurately predict the decline of this once great nation. How terribly depressing.

For those who might have learned a little history in our wonderful government schools you may remember Vichy France, puppet state of the German fascists. Well Vichy France is back, this time disguised as European Unionism / Globalism. By electing Emmanuel Macron, number one Useful Infidel, France has surrendered to Islamo-Fascism. Is this the end of France as recognizable nation or is there still a French Resistance? Is there a Charles Martel somewhere in France? Will France ever be a sovereign nation again?

The financial and political globalists have done their job well. From the 1970's onwards they influenced the educational policies of socialist governments to eliminate reference to the Western civilisation's contribution to history. This generation of useful idiots are now assuming power in the West. They often come from well connected families and have brief working experience international banking.

Macron is no different, he is/was an employee of the Rothschild banking dynasty, the same family who financed both sides leading up to, and during WW I and WW II.

With near zero, or even negative interest rates, ageing populations,unsustainable population growth, record low economic growth, record national, corporate and personal debt the West's economic model is broken. Could it be that this new generation of useful idiots are being used to bring on WW III, after all, what better way to stimulate the global economy than a good old war. And who benefits most from a good old war: the bankers. It has always been so and will be again, and again, because history always repeats.

Does this scenario sound far fetched? Well you only need to understand Western history post 1750 to see that history is in the process of repeating itself. Ask yourself, would your grand parents approve of how the world is deteriorating? No they wouldn't, and they wouldn't because they lived history and they can join the dots on where the useful idiots are taking the West?

History always repeats because human nature is a constant. Those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it. Get ready for a massive global economic depression just to get the West's entitlement class (those under 40) good and angry, followed by WW III (Islam against the rest).

WW III will be facilitated by the useful idiots of the West's political class (the under 40's), using political correctness, manipulation of the media, the international bankers via The Bank for International Settlements (controlled by the Rothschild family), the UN and Saudi money.

As far as I'm concerned, the French have made their bed, now they can lie in it. They chose to vote, quite roundly, for Macron and a continuation of the same tired old status quo - that was their choice, it is time now to accept the consequences.

If the French feel that their culture, their history, their State isn't worth protecting, then why should the rest of us worry for them and the hardships they are suffering and will continue to suffer. After all, they have genuinely decided to onward march into cultural oblivion.

Why should we worry? Because in the EU with its freedom of movement fetish, an increasingly Islamised France (and Germany) is a threat to everybody else. These migrants who have no intention of integrating are not just going to stay in one place, they are like a virus. You only need to note how the terrorists in Germany and France, after committing their atrocities, were able to move freely to other countries whilst being hunted by the authorities. With Macron we will have just more EU integration!

My father fought in Northern France (Metz, Triere) and at Bastogne in Belgium in the Battle of the Bulge. He is passed now but it was merely 75 years ago. Many of his comrades died saving Europe and ultimately the rest of the world from totalitarian Nazism. It is breathtaking and makes me incredibly angry that the Europeans simply don't value their highly prized culture of liberalism that all of the West currently enjoys but is fading quickly in places like our universities where cultural, leftist fascism is now the rage for the moronic "students" who have zero sense of history. The Belgians have become the nexus of the worst terrorists in Europe in places like Mollenbeeck. The Belgians, if I am correct, now have the highest per capita population of Muslims in Europe. In my estimation, Belgium and Sweden will be the first to fall, but the really important dominoes, like France and Germany (and Great Britain) will all become part of a great Muslim caliphate by no later than the end of this century. This will affect all of our children and especially grandchildren. In the US, our only hope is that conservative Christian Latinos, who share much of our Western mindset, will prevent the eventual fall of the US. I was highly in favor of a wall but as I see events unfolding in Europe, I wonder if it would be better to be ruled by Mexico, Central, and South Americans who bring their culture here which is far closer to Western ideals.

France epitomizes a belief that if one, or a group, and in this case a nation, takes the same course repeatedly, it is evidence of insanity. Obviously, it can happen to a nation and France is confirmation of that happening. As weak a leader as Hollande was, it appears that when the polls close in France, there will be an election winner of the similar lack of substance as Hollande....Macron.

The French have nothing about which to concern themselves. They favor "open borders," Hollande was for them, Macron believes identically with Hollande. Actually, Macron, another French "leader," will be taking direction as dictated by the anonymous group that runs the EU in Brussels. Leave it to the French to moan about the nation's lack of productivity, but the same moaners prefer a "soft ride" to prosperity and will raise hell about working more than their short work week requires.

That means that the French want "la-la land," given to them by a Socialist-Leftist government. The French have it all calculated, they can always be serious "at a later date." How long has it been? Well, Charles DeGaulle left the French presidency in the late 1950's, I think (?) but he was more than the French could take. He was a "spit and polish" French General of Army, and he didn't mind working in his own schedule which was similar then to what President Donald Trump works here today. That requires strict self-discipline, which obviously, as a nation, France doesn't have what it takes to keep up with the "big boys."

You have to hand it to these folks, they'd rather pay Germans,Czechs, Ukrainians, etc. to wear the French military uniform so they, the French, can live "joy of life." Ergo the fact of the French Foreign Legion, which in its history has fought many of the battles for France in order to allow Frenchmen to stay at home and read news dispatches, as they consider staying abreast of those Legionaires fighting France's battles.

When the French complain of terrorism, when they conclude that their leadership is the weakest of any sizeable nation of Europe, when they question the infiltration of Islam more and more, they should remind themselves of one significant fact; they are their nation's own worst enemy.

What is it with these 'Useful Idiots', now transmogrified into 'Useful Infidels and Leftists', that everything in their world is upside down? The US has just lived through 8 horrible years with one of these 'Leftist Idiot/Infidels' in the White House, so I would not wholly blame just the French for such stupidity if they elect Macron. Nor does the rest of the world, those parts still recognized as Western Civilization, get a pass on this idiocy either. Perhaps Michael Savage is correct, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder? And Islam is an 'Ideology of Violent World Conquest' with a religious fig leaf for justification!

Thank God for Donald Trump! He came along just in the nick of time and there is still an opportunity therefore to roll back the damage of the Obama years and this Islamo Fascist/Leftist tide. But with Big Education and the MSM turning out millions of 'Infidel & Leftist Idiots' every year, how long will right thinking, patriotic Americans be able to hold off this putrid tide of Islamo Leftism? Our country is under an attack now unlike and way more dangerous than any other in our history. Communism and Fascism were attacks by a relatively small contingent of dedicated believers, ... from the outside. Now the attack is from the inside! Pogo was right, ... We have met the enemy and he is us!' And the attackers, whether Leftists or Islamists' are multiple 10's of millions (Perhaps even 100's of millions!) in number and highly dedicated with a religious zeal that has abandoned all reason, even the reason to live!

"Communism is finally dead,"??? Yves, you speak of a useful idiot but you seem fantastically naïve if you believe that statement. Another point: all useful idiots were not intellectuals. There aren't enough true intellectuals to go around. But there are plenty of drudges and sheep who will follow. Look at how Obama was mindlessly worshipped. "The rise of the seas has slowed!" Nobel Peace Prize. Even the Nobel Committee recognized their error in thinking. Not so the Adoring Masses.

Is Macron a useful idiot? Was/is Obama a useful idiot? Obama is a communist mole, and a radical Muslim, ergo O, or zero as I like to call him, =Islamocommunist mole. He is payoff for the myriad cells sent for the past 100 years by the USSR and other dedicated tyrannies, to infiltrate/degrade/destroy the West. Termination via termites.

They infiltrated the media, education, Hollywood, government at all levels including the intel apparatus and the military, and the major political parties. The US's Democrat Party today is a textbook example of a successful operation. Always taking the Red or the tyrants' side.

Do we think France is somehow different, immune from termites? "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Is Macron a useful idiot? Gimpel The Fool? An aware actor? Or just another guilt-riddled self-hating brainwashed naif who worships the modern god Diversity?

Communism and radislam come together to destroy the hated Western Civilization. If they succeed, Red China and Communist Russia will still stand, and they will not hesitate to nuke out their radical Islam comrades to cull the competition for Head Tyrant.

"Thanks for the help, guys! We can take it from here!" Is there honor among thieves? LOL.

how right U are! what people don't seem to understand is that this is not just a "clash of civilizations;" it is a clash of civilization with anti-civilization. islamic countries are civilized only insofar as they have borrowed (temporarily) organizational techniques and technology from real civilizations. as soon as islam triumphs (soon, if things don't begin to change rapidly here in civilization), history and science will wither and die, because formal study of either has been considered blasphemy by the ulema for the past 1000 years or so. tricks may be remembered by individuals, but their practice will eventually die out, because disconnected practices by secretive individuals is not conducive to their survival. islam will never change, and constant death and unceasing warfare will be the lot of humanity until the end of time.

if we're "lucky," the left will come out on top, and leftist dictatorships, if they are able to continue ruling (they might not be able to do so; viz. nicaragua), will take steps to murder 1.6 billion humans who happen to be be muslims so that they stop causing trouble. because the dogma of the left is still somewhat malleable, freedom may re-emerge after some centuries. it will be a great legacy on which the left can look back: mass murder on an unprecedented scale, followed by collapse of the State and mass death because of starvation because the fools refuse to acknowledge reality.

either way it comes out, the blood of billions will be on the hands of the left.

I hope you have published this en français, because it is the indigenous French citizens who need to be reading this, not the Anglais.

Obviously the French will not read this because they voted for him anyway, so why publish it in French? France, as French citizens once knew it, will cease to exist. Do its citizens care?

If Macron is a 'useful idiot', so is Hollande, Valls. And, Trump, Merkel, May, Rajoy, Trudeau, etc., all who rule, are also 'useful idiots'. Because they know where are the sources that feed Islamism, fundamentalism, fanaticism. But they all relate to those sources that feed, support, terrorists.But when those in power in Europe, the Americans, are asked about these sources of terrorism, what do they say? Trump's clerks have already reported that Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, and Rome have to travel.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you please be more specific?

"But when those in power in Europe, the Americans, are asked about these sources of terrorism, what do they say? Trump's clerks have already reported that Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, and Rome have to travel."

The Americans are "in power in Europe?" News to me! Which of Trump's "clerks" have reported that "Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem and Rome 'have to travel?'" You make no sense!

North America is riddled with useful idiots and when they are in politics and in positions of power they represent a danger to our future as great as a communicable disease for which medical science has yet to find a cure. They are not evil people, these useful idiots, but as dangerous to us as they are to themselves. Obama may not fit this category. He is really part of the MB. Trudeau is a classic example of the useful idiot. All this reminds me of Steinbeck's wonderful play turned into a memorable film with Lon Chaney and Burgess Meredith in which this oversize, mentally weak character kills a woman while wanting to protect her and his buddy makes the hard decision to put him out of his misery. One way or another for our preservation, we may have to consider some such extreme measures, too.

If the French are as aware of terrorism as they should be after all the outrages perpetrated against them, and they elect Macron, then they deserve what they will continue to get.

Then again, it would be interesting to see what Le Pen would meaningfully do, if she were elected. I'm dubious that anyone will or could do anything meaningful at this stage.

The only 'meaningful' thing any country that has experienced Muslim 'immigration' can do is:1. Stop all Muslim migration2. Begin a program of repatriation.

Never gonna happen!

This is the final moment of decision for France. If Le Pen wins France will be rescued an continuing although with much struggling for greatness again. If Macron​ is chosen the as the article says France will be a Caliphate by 2030. Only Muslims will be citizens and ALL non Muslims from France will​ flee in droves from the evil Islamic​ persecution.

Islamism, communism --- who cares –-- as I said before --- same garbage with a different decoration. If Emmanuel Macron dose not see the threat ---- he IS a bigger idiot than I thought. In any case, Islam has taken over France right under Europe's nose and the stupid Europeans do nothing, believing that their lives will go on as usual. Who would have ever believed this tragedy --- and a TRAGEDY IT IS!!!! It is nuts!! But that is Europe for you --- they kick out the hard working, educated Jews and let in barbarians who would kill them in an instance if they do not convert to Islam. NUTS --- NUTS --- NUTS. So, for the last time --- IT IS TIME FOR JEWS to leave Europe ONCE AGAIN .... thank you Yves Mamou and Gatestone.

Emmanuel Macron a "Useful Infidel"; maybe, but he could be better described as a "useful idiot"! Macron is no doubt a "globalist" and that in itself is dangerous to any nation whether it be in the USA or in France. With Islam on the rise with the help of the globalist and progressives of the world appears unstoppable but if enough patriotic french people voting for Le Pen maybe the "tide" will recede and actually turn into Islam demise, I hope and pray that it does!

I hope the French...(oh, excuse me, there is no such thing as a French person!) can see all this very clearly. I hope also that they do not suffer the consequences of electing a fraudulent replacement whose course of action divides their French nation even deeper (oh, excuse me, again, there is no French nation!).

What a ghastly prospect and in a country so close to the UK. The French do not seem to see such danger when it is staring them in the face. I hope they do not get this illustrated to them with even more terrorist atrocities. We need to strengthen our Channel borders as no doubt Macron will free up the illegal immigrants waiting to cross over.

He must have been too busy dreaming of his teacher's bosom (which he late acquired) to learn about Ravel, Debussey, Zola, Stendhal, Renoir, Matisse, Monet, Manet, Cezanne, Delacroix, Voltaire, Montaigne, to but name a few. He is a disgrace to France.

With a citizen, let alone a presidential candidate like Macron, France doesn't need any enemies.If enough French voters are stupid enough to elect Macron then the whole nation will get what those voters alone deserve.

Lucky enough that the US has the means to redress itself, but I really doubt that France could do it, even with MLP as president.

One can take blindness to extremes. Islam is predominant in a number of countries. None of these countries is white. None is capitalist. How blind does he have to be not to see this?

The Soviet Communists called their philosophy, socialism. Their infiltration of the capitalist west has been very successful. The socialists in the west now welcome their brothers in arms: the Islamists

Indeed! But it just changed its costume & makeup - et voila! It's morphed into (almost) acceptable (but totally failing economically) socialism; and now it's teamed up with the Islamists (in its quest for absolute power & control).

The welcome will be short lived in the end. Most socialists are atheists; agnostics at best. Islam is devoted to "Allah". It is the objective of Islam to force itself on the entire world. "Convert or die" has often been heard. Muslims are not brothers to socialism in the religious sense. In the end, if Islam becomes dominant worldwide, Socialists will be faced with the same decision as all other non-Muslims seen as the infidels.

Communism is alive and still used to destroy economies and citizen's lives, eg Venezuela, Cuba etc. It provides a good smoke screen for the theft and dictatorial control of the thugs in power.

Communism is alive and well. It has only dispersed itself into different areas, under different names. Socialism is communism in better packaging, and to a lesser degree -- as it gains more power, it moves nearer to the real thing.

If France does not have any sort of a specific culture, a specific history, and a specific literature or art, what does that mean to the graduates, current enrollees, faculty, staff, and prospects of the Sorbonne?

Bahareh Hedayat is a human rights activist who has spent over six years in an Iranian prison for "insulting" Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and for "actions against national security, propagation of falsehoods, mutiny and illegal congregation." Hedayat is the longest serving female prisoner of conscience in Iran.
